Make a Happy Thanksgiving!
I am giving you all my thanks for being a person that has the well being of others in your heart! The holiday was begun by a famous Republican, Abraham Lincoln. Who would have known all the interesting things that would have come from being thankful for the world around and the harvest of the fall. If Thanksgiving is nothing more than a time you sit and eat something together, the time with others is something to be thankful for and make a place in your heart for someone without. I know, with economic times as they are, we may have less money, but we do not have less compassion. Do what you can and make a difference this season for those in need!

Small Town Disappears
The small town of Americus, Georgia had the strangest thing happen today, everyone dropped dead at once. The CDC is investigating and FEMA agencies are enroute with aid along with many other agencies of the federal government to assist the surrounding communities with their grief and shock. This silent killer affected each in a manner that was stealthy and deadly. They unfortunate residents reflect the national census data in diversity by percentage almost to the number. Preliminary investigation results indicate each person in this small town shared at least one thing in common, they had no health insurance. Read more

The Way Forward
FDR and Barack Obama only share this unique historical perspective on taking the reigns when the carriage is half off the cliff and way off the reservation. Failing banks, general fear, and speculation from every direction driving to the economic peril appears at every turn. That fear and business gone to unbridled greed was the great depression for FDR and could become that again. The knowledge and speed of technology today will make our reactions more precise today. We can stop the problems on balance sheets. Our focus must involve the people and we just have to calm down everyone involved. Everyone involved in this crisis today is the population of our planet. We are a smaller place and have to overcome this fear and face reality. Greed has made our country poor stewards of money. Read more
